BOSTON — Boston coach Doc Rivers and Celtics president of basketball operations Danny Ainge both said Wednesday that they are disappointed in Glen Davis, who broke his right thumb while fighting with his childhood friend, Shawn Bridgewater, early Monday morning.

But they both said that Davis is still a part of the Celtics organization and they are both expecting good things from him this year.

Neither one would divulge the length of his suspension, and Rivers said that Davis has not addressed the team yet, but he is sorry for his actions.

While Davis will be missed over the next six weeks while he recovers, the one player they both expect to fill his shoes is Shelden Williams, a former 1st round pick (5th overall, 2006) out of Duke.

“Shelden is a solid player,” Rivers said. “Shelden was a high draft pick for a reason and he was a dominant player in college for a reason. My job, our staff’s job, is to get that out of him. It’s in there. He has a great opportunity to do it with this team.”

Williams was selected fifth overall by the Atlanta Hawks in 2006, his NBA career never took off.

Rondo, team still talking

The Celtics are still trying to reach a deal with Rajon Rondo before Saturday’s deadline.

Rondo reportedly wants to be paid as one of the top five point guards in the league and wants a five-year deal for somewhere between $55 million and $60 million.

The Celtics have been reported to have offered Rondo $45 million for five years at the beginning of the week, and they recently went up on that offer, but a deal has yet to be reached between the two sides.

Garnett will get minutes

Rivers said he has no plans on taking it easy on Garnett because he says his surgically repaired right knee is fully healed.

He plans on playing Garnett between 30 and 33 minutes per game even though the Celtics play four games over a six-day span.

He also said that no timetable has been set for the return of Brian Scalabrine (ankle), Tony Allen (knee) and Bill Walker (knee) just yet.
